Abstract：
The topic of consumer food choice has received much attention among researchers and stakeholders within the food industry. However, in order to better facilitate food consumption towards a more sustainable direction, we need increased knowledge and understanding of factors that influence consumers\' food choice. This study is a systematic review of reviews conducted between 2017 and 2021, summarising and synthesising reviews on food choice. The aim is to provide an update of the current knowledge on consumer food choice, point out what is already known, and identify knowledge gaps to enable a prioritisation for future research. The analysis highlights decisive factors in food choice, i.e. product, available information, price, context, personal and group influences and sensory perceptions. The synthesis of findings follows a socioecological model, integrating four different levels of the social and environmental systems: the physical food environment, the social and community level, interpersonal relations and, finally, individual characteristics such as psychological and behavioural factors. Results show that behavioural patterns, influenced by strong informal institutions, such as culture and norms, can be difficult to break; for example, changing into more sustainable food behaviour. The findings suggest that more interdisciplinary research and studies in real-life settings are needed to grasp the complexity of food choice. This would allow for us to better understand consumers as social beings shaped by, among other things, the physical environment, social interactions, and culture.
摘要：
消费者食品选择的话题受到了食品行业研究人员和利益相关者的广泛关注。然而,为了更好地促进食品消费朝着更可持续的方向发展，我们需要增加对影响消费者选择食物的因素的认识和理解。这项研究是对2017年至2021年之间进行的评论的系统回顾，总结和综合了有关食物选择的评论。目的是提供有关消费者食物选择的最新知识，指出已经知道的，并确定知识差距，以便为未来的研究确定优先次序。分析强调了食物选择的决定性因素，即产品，可用信息,价格,context,个人和群体的影响和感官知觉。研究结果的综合遵循社会生态模型，整合四个不同层次的社会和环境系统：物理食物环境，社会和社区层面，人际关系和,最后,个体特征，如心理和行为因素。结果表明，行为模式，受到强大的非正式机构的影响，比如文化和规范，很难打破；例如，转变为更可持续的食物行为。研究结果表明，需要更多的跨学科研究和现实生活中的研究来掌握食物选择的复杂性。这将使我们更好地理解消费者是由，除其他外，物理环境,社交互动,和文化。
